This is the actual book given to me from 1969 - treasured as fond memory of both the school and of Spike.
The school song went like this:
" Ludus

Bonus o sodales
Quem decet semper
Colere atque amare
Hunc labos noster
Studiumque nostrum
Semper honestent "
Part of the City of Sheffield coat of
arms was used in the design of the school badge >>
It included the sheaf of arrows which was the main motif in the seals of the
Burgery of Sheffield and the Twelve Capital Burgesses; the three
wheatsheaves on a green field were probably chosen at the College of Arms to
represent the name Sheffield which means "the open space by the River Sheaf"

- Foch (red)

You will be asking yourself - "How come he has this book? Did he steal it?" Well, the story is that he lost it and was made to buy a replacement. Years later, it turned up at his Dad's. It smells old and fusty now he says, but he treasures it.

Cap badges were worn by school pupils in the 1920s to distinguish them from other school children. However, blazers were not part of the school uniform at this time >
